"Homosexuality is a choice" and its paradox

[bennyboy]

Sex, of any kind but rape, is a choice. The kind of sex you enjoy is not.

And the kind this thread is concerned with is the latter. I strongly believe that's what constitues a homosexual - someone who for the majority of their life has enjoyed sex with the same gender. It's the only way I can rationalise why they'd do it.

There are other reasons. Spartans and modern Israeli elite soldiers (at least so I've been told by a Jew who claims knowledge) were encouraged to engage in homosexual behavior because celibacy was bad for focus. Another reason would be an irrational fear of women-- they might give you a hard-on right up until you actually had to have sex with one, and then insecurities could sabatoge your efforts. Another reason would be pure access: for example in prison. Another would be sexual dominance-- like a gang leader showing some new punk who's really boss.
